Great lines and rhythms mixed in with soulful bends and scoops.<\/p>\n<p>The transcription is harder to read because of the sixteenth note rhythms but if you dig the solo, I would suggest listening to Bob play each phrase and work through the solo phrase by phrase as you try to copy what he is playing.\u00a0 Youtube has a great feature now where you can click on the &#8220;setting&#8221; symbol under the video, then click on &#8220;playback speed&#8221; to adjust the speed from 100% to 75%, 50% or 25%.\u00a0 This is a great feature if you want to play along with a harder solo from Youtube.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy the solo as much as I do.\u00a0 Thanks to Bob Reynolds, Charlie Hunter and Geoff Clapp for not letting this pandemic we are experiencing get in the way of jamming together!\u00a0 Keep it up guys!\u00a0 The world needs funky, soulful grooves right now&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/48ilCVlw-5c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bob Reynolds-Remote Jam in Eb Minor<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 12px; background-color: #f0b646; line-height: 1.4;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2020\/Bob Reynolds-Remote Jam-Bb.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bob Reynolds Remote Jam in Eb Minor-Bb PDF<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2020\/Bob Reynolds-Remote Jam-Concert.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bob Reynolds Remote Jam in C# Minor-Concert PDF<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n*If you would like to support me here at neffmusic.com, you can do so\u00a0on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/product-category\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support page of my store<\/a> by debit or credit card. \u00a0 Any support is appreciated and will go towards keeping this site running, saxophone reeds, mouthpiece patches, coffee, and towards justifying the many hours I spend on providing free transcriptions to the saxophone community!\u00a0 Thanks,\u00a0 \u00a0Steve<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you like these type of outside modern sounding lines like I do, be sure to check out my Devastating Lines for Jazz and Funk Soloing for Minor and Dominant Grooves.
